We celebrated our 12th anniversary in June and Brian got called as EQ Pres- (the fun never stops around here!) The Stake President and I got to have a little chat prior to his call ( I know a few of you have enjoyed this same pleasure!) I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful husband!
Brandon: I took this picture!
Brandon: It's my birthday. We had an Amazing Race around the house. My cake was ALL chocolate with cookie dough ice cream in the middle
Matthew: The Amazing Race was wild- we had kids all over the house running around.
We had a great time with Brandon's birthday- what else do you do with a bunch of boys in the middle of the summer and you just don't want to go swim????
Matthew: Zachary is trying to drink water out of the hose and he is getting soaked instead. This happens all the time.
Zach loves the water! He always wants the hose on- which alwasy results in the complete soaking of himself- but at least it dries quick!
Andrew: I love reading books and I like the pictures in them.
Matthew: Andrew's big book mess. He pulled the whole bottom shelf of books out.
Oh my dear Andrew- he really does love reading and I never want to discourage reading but this is what I come find in the boys room so very often. Ahhhh.... Also, he has taken to sleeping on the floor most of the summer so he can sleep under the fan. His blanket and pillow are amid the book stack. He has the bottom bunk and truthfully it is pretty hot under there, so I don't blame him, but it is just one more thing to clean up!
Brandon's braces. The 5th of August. They are orange if you want to see them.
Matthew: Brandon got his braces- this is the first day of school he has his braces on.
Thankfully, thankfully we got his braces on prior to school, since he didn't really eat anything for five days and was a little irritable!
Andrew: It's Andrew's first day of school and I'm lining up. I sit in the front row, the blue row. August 10th. The thing I love about school is PE and music.
A few days after school had started we were talking to Andrew about PE. The first day of PE they had played with hula hoops and he thought that was really cool. He was telling us that PE wasn't so fun that day. In response to our question as why it wasn't fun he said, " We had to exercise!"
Andrew: It's me and Zachary at Benjamin Franklin. It's my first day of school. August10.
Andrew: Its Andrew, Zachary, Brandon and Matthew. August 10
Matthew: It's our first day of school. Zachary thinks he is going to school. But in the afternoon he got pretty lonely and when he came to pick us up he got so excited, that he said OH BOY!
Zachary and I were driving to pick the boys up on the first day of school- he had been quite lonely all afternoon. Lest you think he takes a great nap and I have all afternoon to myself, I must set the record straight... I get maybe 1/2 hour nap out of him and then it's back to two year old antics. When the school came into view through his window he started screaming, Oh Boy, Boy, Boy! I'm grateful at this point he loves having them around. I'll admit I kind of missed them all too.
